Merzlikins stopped 30 shots in regulation and overtime and all three shootout attempts he faced in Monday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

New York took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, but Merzlikins kept his focus and gave Columbus a chance to rally, and he even picked up an assist on the Adam Fantilli tally that got the Blue Jackets on the board. It was the 30-year-old netminder's first win since March 1, snapping an 0-5-1 stretch in which Merzlikins had posted a 3.55 GAA and .891 save percentage.
